The Kick Six turned a decade old this year, so it was well past time for an Alabama-Auburn game to provide a new generation with a lifetime’s worth of pain and misery — or unbridled euphoria, depending on which team you support.
The Iron Bowl did just that on Saturday.
With Alabama trailing by four at Jordan-Hare Stadium — and it’s playoff chances hanging in the balance — Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Milroe capped off an unlikely drive with an even more unlikely touchdown. He found Isaiah Bond all alone in the end zone on fourth-and-goal from the Auburn 31-yard line.
Yes. You read that right. A 31-yard touchdown pass on fourth-and-goal. At Auburn. In the Iron Bowl.

As you can imagine, Auburn fans did not take this development well.
In just a matter of moments the Tigers faithful went from getting ready to storm the field to sobbing on their way out of the stadium.

"The craziest, most unbelievable final 40 seconds of football that maybe you'll ever see, unless you've been to The Iron Bowl before."
